Whether or not you are worried about global warming seems to depend on your political persuasion, at least in the United States. Republicans don't believe it is happening. Democrats believe it, but can't get enough support to do anything about it.
Republicans, for the most part, are convinced that this is just hysteria. Poll after poll demonstrates that Republicans rank this issue far-lower than terrorism, economic decline and even entitlement reform. Republicans just don't believe that global warming is occurring. This position has hardened in recent years, as the scandals that expose apparent fraud in the scientific community by those pushing the global warming agenda pile up (Mann and the Hockey Stick graph, the East Anglia climate emails, and the recent revelations about the scientists who studied polar bear populations.) Republicans are suspicious about most environmentalist claims because, quite frequently, they think they are used to expand government power rather than to solve the problem. The fact that the major advocate for manmade warming in the United States is Al Gore also does not help.
Democrats are worried, and they believe that global warming is occurring. The question is: Do they believe it enough to be willing to spend money/lose their jobs to combat it? Most place it low on the spectrum of concerns, beneath welfare and economic performance, but nowhere near as low as Republicans. They are, however, willing to wield global warming as a club to force companies to buy "green" lighting (like my local Wal-Mart) and blackmail corporations into purchasing carbon credits.
In other words, America is in a stalemate. People have their attention focused on other things.

Will people have to live differently when global warming happens?
Sometimes global warming does change how people live. For example, the time to plant gardens after winter is now earlier in some places than it was 20 years ago.
Is global warming an imminent danger?
Yes. It disrupts the climate and make many places very uncomfortable to live in. It also has an impact on food and water supplies.
How do you persuade someone that global warming is real?
It is quite difficult to persuade someone that global warming is real. Right now that is especially true since reporters have discovered e-mails revealing a pattern of deceit by the scientists trying to warn us about global warming. Still, since anyone who does not believe global warming does not exist will not be up on scandals related to global warming, you do not need to be concerned about that report! How to convince that person depends on where you live. The farther north you live, the easier it will be. You can show pictures of trees that have not put out leaves on memorial day (May 30). They will be in bloom. You can show pictures of insects that have moved farther north. Otherwise, if you live on the coast, you can show places that were not underwater 200 years ago but are underwater now as the seas rise. if you live in the Middle East, you can visit Timerlane's capital. You can see how the desert has moved north as the earth warmed. You will need to study global warming and how it affects your own area.
What are people doing today to reduce global warming?
To stop the global warming we should: 1. Stop burning plastics. Plastics cause chlorofluorocarbon. 2. Don't use chemicals (sprays) that contains chlorofluorocarbon. Look at the labels at the back if it contains chlorofluorocarbon. Don't use it. 3. Don't often use air conditioners. (Well you can use it but not too long)heheh PLEASE HELP STOP THE GLOBAL WARMING. IT'S YOUR OWN SAFETY IF YOU WANNA LIVE LONGER IN THIS WORLD.
How big a threat is global warming?
Chances are, global warming is going to get worse, however, we cannot predict exactly how rapidly this will happen or how bad it will get. My guess is that I will not live to see severe global warming, but the next generation after me probably will. And severe global warming could be very destructive. The immediate threat is that the ice caps will melt, and the sea level will rise a great deal, causing massive flooding of coastal regions. Many other problems are likely to result as well. Things could get very interesting.
Does the environment help people live longer?
Yes, a clean and healthy environment can contribute to people living longer by reducing exposure to harmful pollutants, ensuring access to clean water and air, and providing opportunities for physical activity and mental well-being. However, individual lifestyle choices and genetic factors also play significant roles in overall longevity.

What can be dangerous to people who live hundreds of miles from an erupting volcano?
Volcanos contribute to global warming.
Which animals does global warming affect the most and how?
global warming mostly affect the polar bears which live in the Arctic which is cold, and is getting warmer by time due to global warming. So polar bears a turning into an endangered species and people are designing them on Coke cans to help them. :)
How have people contributed to an increase in earths temperature?
Global Warming. The polar bears and penguins and all the other animals who live on ice house or home is being ruined all because of global warming.
What is the importance and danger of global warming and extreme global warming?
Global Warming is probably the most important thing facing the people of the world today. The danger from global warming is that if we cannot slow and later stop it, the world will become hotter and almost impossible to live in. There will be horrific changes in countries and peoples as they try to adapt to a different climate where all the things they were used to have changed.
Will people be able to live on the moon?
yes they will cos scientists are trying to find water on it do people can live there in thousands of years time when the earth gets desroyed by global warming .
Doglobal warming make any impact?
Global warming can make an impact on the environment and the way people live. The global temperature raised 0.09 degrees in the 10 year period of 2002 through 2012. At the current rate it will take nearly 100 years for the global temperature to raise one degree.
What are some things about polar bears?
they live in the arctic and are dying out because of global warming!
Why don't polar bears live in the mountains?
They thrive well where they are, global warming notwithstanding.
How do animals live in glaciers?
freeze into ice untill the global warming kills them all
Is the Arctic endangered?
